Description Hee hee! So I managed to throw together another entry for the Anime North Design Contest while I was visiting Jess. Originally I was planning to colour the linework digitally, but then I remembered that I left the power cord for my laptop at home and Jess needed her laptop for some important work. Soooo, yay for friends who have gouache, brushes and coloured pencils lying around! I coloured most of it traditionally and then added a very simple background in photoshop.

Yeah, so this is the Anime North mascot dressed as a Heian court lady.

Media: Black technical pen, brown technical pen, gouache, coloured pencil and photoshop.

EDIT: Just added a spiffy new background in photoshop.

Prints of this piece are for sale in my Etsy shop: [link]

You can also find them up for auction here on Ebay: [link]

Your work here has actually inspired me for many years. I find her to be quite beautiful and coy, and I'm always drawn back to this picture.
I hope that doesn't sound too silly. But keep up the good work!

I have just begun with this website, and am enjoying all the wonderful artwork that people have posted. I think perhaps it is your work that I like the best so far. Stay with it!

I've always loved Heian stuff, especially their eyebrows X3

I love this! It's hard to find good art of junihitoe (as compared to the more common types of kimono.)
